Used 2004 Nissan Armada Consumer Reviews

Has Your Car's Value Changed?
Used car values are constantly changing. Edmunds lets you track your vehicle's value over time so you can decide when to sell or trade in.
Objective? I think so...
We have had our LE 4wd for several weeks now and have made several road trips in it along with daily town driving. Ours has the Tech package and DVD (aftermarket 9" screen w/ TV and wireless headphones). The ride is sweet for a vehicle this size, very comfortable. The engine is phenominal, love the power and the sound from the tail pipes. When I drive, its hard not to play with that power so fuel mileage is averaging around 14 mpg. Interior is nice, comfortable and clean. Some complain about the cheap looking interior materials but I think the LE with leather works well.
Great Truck
Have owned this car since new, continue to keep this while trading/leasing others. The size, ride and functionality are incomparable and we have had minimal problems with a first year model. Highly recommend this vehicle to those considering. Do your homework. The brake concerns are to be expected for a large, heavy SUV that gets traditional auto miles. We have 65k miles and are going in for our second brake job... the first was covered. 2nd set of tires are in great shape. Compare to a Suburban/Expedition by taking a drive test... it is a hands down winner.

"OH WHAT A FEELING"
NICE NEW STYLE FOR SPORT "U" GREAT POWER AND IN A WORLD WERE NOBODY SEES YOU THEY WILL SEE YOU WHEN YOU DRIVE THIS MONSTER GET JOB NISSAN THIS IS THE MOTHER OF ALL SPORT "U" R
It is magic!
This Armada is all that and a bag of chips. The safty, Performance, and Design is right on the money. You sit high but it is not a soft ride. You dont sway side to side. The power is not like any SUV I have ever been in. From top to bottom it is a well built and Designed SUV. GOOD JOB NISSAN.
Awesome Car!
I am so happy that I bought this car! It drives so smooth! I highly recommend.
nice suv
I took this vihicle to mexico to the toghest roads and mountains and the experience I had was incredible. this suv has evrything you need its 305 horses and the powerful torque is all you need for wherever adventure you may have.
Armada Owners Review
I have owned many SUV's including 3 Jeep Grand Cherokees and a Ford Excursion. This is definitely the nicest SUV I've come across yet.
new nissan pathfinder armada
it is a very large vehicle but handles like a small vehicle. it seems like this vehicle was well thought out from safety features to the spacesiness inside i looked at alot of suvs and did my homework of what was important to me and the armada won hands down. we are very happy we purchased the armada.
So Far So Good
We are now past the 1200 mile breakin phase and all seems to be fine. No major problems, I have heard one little rattle and the (internal only) antenna to the Bose stereo seems a little week. Our most recent fuela mileage was right at 14 in mostly in town driving. Our first road trip will be in about a month.
Need room, Armada is the best!
Between the new Durango and the Armada, and for only a couple of thousand more I got much more room, safety features etc over the Durango. But what really clinched it was the spacious interior room, including the second and third row seating areas. I got the SE w/4WD, standard radio which is excellent, and the cloth interior with 2nd row bench which is much more versatile. I opted not to get the dvd or navigation, so I couldn't get the sunroof, but I'll add that for an extra grand in the Spring. Definitely a head turner, and a logical choice when given the options available!
Armada Away
Love this SUV. Nissan waited to come out with a large SUV and in doing so, corrected all the mistakes of the other car makers. Fun to drive. Very stable. All the conveniences you'd ever want.
400 miles
Only 400 miles on it & so far I like my decision.Very comfortable seating in the cloth.The front 2 rows are great 3rd row is for kids or small adults.The engine is very smooth on the highway at 70 -80.It does have a little growl to it while accelerating which I love.The tranny is the best I,ve ever had.Space galore.City driving takes care but becomes easier with pratice.I love it.
And the winner is ....the Nissan Armada!
This is one great vehicle with great value for your money. My friend came along just for the ride and now he is buying one too. Nissan really did it's homework on this SUV and although the compitition might match it in any one or two catagories, the Armada beats them all as an overall package.
Colorado 2004 Armada LE
I bought this vehicle used from a BMW dealership in August 2005. It was only 10 months old and had 27K miles on it, came loaded with DVD, NAV, Bose. I also bought with full knowledge of the problems that the '04's have, rattles, brakes etc. This prompted me to buy an extended warranty. So far so good, I've put 9000 miles on the truck in 4 months without a single problem. The brakes are great no dust or pulsing i.e. none of the problems that have been reported, possibly because it had the brake rework done on it before I got it. A Nissan dealer confirmed that for me yesterday.So it appears that, for me at least, the brake rework makes a difference. It's big, lots of airbags and comfortable.
1Quick grocery getter
We traded a full sized conversion van for the Armada- we are used to larger vehicles. Did not want the extra expense of 4 wheel drive-thank you Nissan for a 4x2. We love the looks,comfort and all the standards that are options on other suv's. This suv handles like a sports car compared to the old van. I'm sure a lot of Mustang and Camaro owners are going to be surprised when they are not pulling to far away from my suv at the stoplights.
Armada= Lemon. Watch Out!!
My armada is a beautiful car. the reliability of it is the worst. brake problems, and electrical problems that would never end. dealership would not stand behind it. not impressed with nissan now. I have a 2000 pathfinder.. that remains flawless.... what happened nissan??? try again. fix the mechanics and you will have a great car.. until then you lost my business. ps.. train your dealerships... Douglas of Henderson is a HORRIBLE place to buy a car... yo yo finance, lies, typical "used car" sales in a new car dealership. the worst car buying experience ever. From someone who loves nissan, a huge let down
Armada Review
Excellent power, comfortable interior, good sound system. Problem with clock on radio not keeping time properly. Would like split 3rd row seating like Sequoia. Gas milage performing below rating, but SUV is still under 1000 miles. Tires were over inflated, and driving seemed smoother after adjustment to specification (35 psi). Stiff suspension makes for bumpy ride over rough road, but very smooth on highway. Fun to drive, throaty sound, size of vehicle makes it feel like you could drive through a brick wall. Bring on a snow blizzard.
next generation suv
the nissan armada le suv is a very strong and capable truck both on the highway and oof road.. the 305 hp engine is smooth and quiet even in high speeds..the 18 in tires makes it stand alone with the rest of its class.
My Armada
I have only owned this vehicle for a little over a month and I really love it. The amount of space in this vehicle is amazing! It's perfect for a large family like mine! The only thing I have a hard time with is the gas.
CONCERNS
I got this beautiful truck after owning a tahoe and a expedition, runs wonderful but i start it to have problems w/it since the winter in NY my driver side door won't close ,only in cold weather,my front brakes where gone in 3 months they replace it for free this time,at that time i discover a leak on the power sterring they fix it to,but my driver side door still got the problem NISSAN USA is involved and hopefully will fix once and for all.
What a great SUV!
I'm extremely impressed with the SUV and LOVE driving it. The Armada drives much smaller than it is and is surpisingly maneuverable in tight situations/ downtown. Auto folding mirrors would be a nice touch for narrow garages however. The engine and drive train is phenomenal. The transmission is smooth and there is a lot of power... I'm surpised that it's only rated at 305hp... seems like more. The ride is a bit stiff but will soften over time. I have not experience any of the resonance issues.. perhaps this is not a problem with more recent builds. This is an excellent vehicle for people with kids/ dogs and the like.
New Armada
Former Tahoe owner -- 200,000 miles on a 1997. Test drove Yukon/Tahoe, Suburban, Lincoln Navigator. Although I thought I wanted a GMC -- I fell in love with performance, safety and new look of Armada. 1,000 miles in first 5 days -- Las Vegas -- Phoenix and back. Have nothing but praise for the handling and engine performance.
Damn...It's Nice!!!
Like riding in a limosine with your head in the clouds. Over 3 month we test drove the large Ford, Chevy, GMC, Dodge & Toyota SUV's. They were nice but none of them grabbed both of us. Then my wife and I saw and test drove the Armada. There was just no comparison between the Armada and all of the others. We had to have one. The ride and overall comfort for this type of vehicle is exceptional. It can go anywhere I need and do just about anything all others can do with little or no effort at all. I can't stop showing it off and after a month I am still going into the garage to stare at it at night. You gotta get yourself one!
Great family vehicle
Our young family of four is really enjoying this vehicle. The DVD entertainment center is great for long trips. It has a lot of power - I'm someone that loves to accelerate, and the Armada has good, very smooth, acceleration for its size. It handles very well on slick roads. The interior is unbelievable - storage is everywhere! And the second row seats have a LOT of room! It is easy to fold down the third row, and the fact it has shoulder belts in all 8 seating positions gives us a lot of flexibility in where the kids ride particularly when my wife travels with friends.
So far, so good.
Seems like a great car. Fun to drive and good features. The only draw back is the dealership, we got screwed on the deal - even after doing all of our homework. I guess that is our fault, but it leaves a bad taste in your mouth!
Armada Mania
Big but drives as if you are driving a small SUV. Very manuvarable, lots of power and Zip and I do mean Zip. Nissan used a very common sense aproach when desinging the interior accessories. I love it. Best vehical I have ever owned.
I love this car!
Real nice SUV, My friends have the GMC and Ford Full side SUV and they wish they had an ARMADA
Excellent Truck
Just traded in my old Sequoia because it just could not handle my 28ft boat. Guess what, this baby pulls it like a dream. I've heard some people don't like the rear of this truck, but when you see it up close this truck looks great, and it has very good interior materials and finishing, unlike American trucks.
mom's cool car
I love this suv! It holds all the kids I need to haul and their drinks!(and their attention with the dvd player!) The safety features are great, and they came standard, you didn't have to pay exrta for third row airbag safety- unlike some suv's in this class. The shape of this car is so neat looking, we get stopped everywhere we go with people asking how we like it. The gas mileage is low, but what did you expect when you buy a truck this big?
Armada Monster
This SUV is everything you would need or want. It is a Monster on the road and in the snow. I can get past the fuel economy and just enjoy the ride and many safety features. What a vehicle
Armada LE
Excellent tow vehical. Good office.
Fianlly a Nissan SUV
Excellent alternative to the domestic SUV, compared all the other models and this Armada has it all. Currently own a Ford Expedition (which I like too). If you try one out you will buy one, altho hold on to your pocketbook, not cheap!
Nissan Armada SE Off Road
best suv out there, priced reasonably, drives beautiful, i am a very short woman and thought i would be intimidated by the size, but it drives awesome. The exterior is different from alot of other suvs out there, and we love the color.
HAPPY BUYER
AFTER OWNING 6 SUV, THIS SUV HAS THE BEST START OF BEING ONE OF THE BETTER ONES'. HOPE I WILL FEEL THE SAME 3 YEARS FROM NOW ?
cool car
it is a cool car and it's fun to drive
Best Large Size SUV On The Market!!!!
This SUV handles like a sports car. It has massive power and pick-up is amazing. If you like a truck to drive like a truck then this is NOT the truck for you. It feels and drives like a car, but the sound of the engine is intimidating, tough. This truck, both inside and out, pushes the SUV to a new level.
Its like riding in an Infiniti
Even though this is badged Nissan, it seems that in order to cut costs, they put the same build, comfort and quality that they put in any Infinit. I understand this and the QX56 are the same, but it seems they didn't sacrifice much for the Nissan name. It is a complete pleasure and joy to drive
Godzilla has arrived
Look out, it's GODZILLA and he's coming at you. Love the Armada, perfect name for this monster. Big as anything, but handles like a mid-size SUV. Interior quality not great and some ergonomic features 'weirdly' placed at first but easy to get use to. Don't know what more can be offered in the Infiniti version QX.
Big Body
My wife and I love driving our Armada. This is our very first SUV, and we do not regret it. I would definitely recommend this vehicle to who ever is considering purchasing a new vehicle.
YEP
Finally another foreign car in the big SUV market. Even with no options this vehicle is well equipped. Great leg room in the rear seat, my kid can't kick the front seats anymore (come to think of it I don't think Shaq can reach either). The ride is quiet but the SUV has tons of power. Comfortable cockpit with controls easy to find. If your looking for the new BIG SUV this is it. Can't wait for the first road trip!
Not bad at all....
So far, the Nissan Armada has been about what I expected after doing my SUV homework. It's definitely "different" and not easily comparible with other SUV's.
Love It!
We bought the Armada used and was very please with its condition. Its pickup is awesome and I love the space it provides for my large family.
wonderful musclecar
The armada is a super vehicle from setting you back in your seat on takeoff, to handling curves similar to a sportcar.The features are also awesome from heated seats to automatic hatch to backup sensors.Overall one sweet SUV!
Great Value
Compared to Sequoia, Expedition and Tahoe, the Armada has more standard features, more power, drives and handles better, and is roomier. Nicest vehicle of all the large SUV's. All of that and it is the best priced.
MY ARNADA
IT IS THE BEST SUV MADE BY NISSAN TODAY
Nissan has done it. Lookout toyota&chevy
We have loved our Nissan Armada. It has tons of room, tons of power, and drives excellent. We have had the typical front brake problem, but Nissan has a remedy for that problem. Some rattles, but the Dealer is working those out. Best big SUV on the Market. More power than TAHOE & SEQUOIA.
Stump Puller
Have had mine about 2 weeks now and love to drive it, when I can get it away from the wife. So far we have had a squeak in the overhead console (intermittent), car came with the tires overinflated by about 10lbs each and finally I popped the hood for the first time and found the oil dipstick sticking out about 2 inches.. Mainly minor QC issues that should have either been picked uo at the plant or the dealer. All in all, you have to love the power and handling on this beast.
Pathfinder Rating
we have only had this vehicle for a week now so our mileage is not high. It is very responsive and comfortable so far and has room to spare. Unlike other SUV models, this one has legroom to spare, even in the rear seats!! We have had another type of SUV before and this one beats it hands down for comfort. The other SUV did not allow you to stretch your legs out, therefore making it uncomfortable for long trips.
Fun to drive, fun to look at
I love this vehicle! My family has had a lot of fun. It performs well. We have had no problems with reliability or anything at all that I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone shopping for a SUV. Lots and lots of room for familes and friends. It has more power than any other vehicle in its class and it tows our pontoon boat easily! It's a smooth ride and so fun to drive! You can feel the power!
Awesome
I have had the Armada for about 6 weeks now and absolutely love it. The drive is smooth the power is there if you need it and the size inside and out is great. The stereo system is great. I recommend the captain chairs for second row we love it. we love everything about it.
